Tips and care for nightlife in Japan

Have you ever imagined your nightlife in Japan? Many tourists imagine that they will arrive in Tokyo and go to neighborhoods like Kabukicho and pick up the girls. Others want to go further and hire special services. If you intend to do these perverted things, or simply want to experience a night out in Japan's red light districts, this article will help you to get smart about the problems these neighborhoods can bring.

Depending on your intention for the night, be with friends to avoid problems. In most cases you don't have to worry, Japan is a safe place, you can enjoy it at night in clubs, concert halls, anfitriã and love hotels. The big problem with these red light night neighborhoods is that they are full of people with ulterior motives trying to get your money and even steal it.

Tips and care with the nightlife in Japan

Be smart with the price

These nightlife neighborhoods often vary in price according to service, club size, and quality of partners. There are bars that cost up to 7,000 yen without all drinks included. Those special shows usually go over 10,000 yen easily. If you really want a service, prepare more than 20,000 yen.

Suspicious people often approach tourists on the street offering cheap options, at least they make it seem. Even if you think it's cheap, be careful because they use strategies to raise the price. They often add additional fees to the bill if they give customers advance notice. They may have said it cost 15,000 yen, but ends up charging 20,000 yen in the end, making up a mandatory rookie fee or similar excuses.

There was a bar that came to charge 2.6 million yen from some customers despite having promised a bill of 4,000 yen. In this incident fraud victims were threatened with violence after refusing to pay. There are thousands of strategies in these neighborhoods designed to steal your money, beware! And it's not just Japanese trying to suck your money, but foreigners too. even in Akihabara these sucking men appeared, and in Osaka I saw many young women on the prowl.

Get Smart with Nightlife

These suspicious people are also deceiving in another way, they may present posters of beautiful young women, but in reality they lead to a middle-aged lady.

Women need to be careful, even men. Foreigners stand out in Japan, the Japanese can create stereotypes, there are already cases of Japanese people dragging women to a love hotel, perhaps the language barrier has contributed to this.

In Japan the law prohibits prostitution! Like this? You may have heard several reports of these services, because every law has loopholes. In Japan the hired girl becomes your partner and you go on a date. Once you are a couple, even if temporarily, the law no longer prohibits you from having sex. This entertainment industry is smart isn't it? Perhaps this is one of the reasons why there are so many innocent services where girls just go on a date to talk and no relationships.

Also be careful with the Yakuza, they are often in nightlife neighborhoods like Kabukicho because that's where their business is run. But you don't have to be afraid of the Yakuza, just be careful not to be harmed. The Yakuza is an officially recognized organization, it works together with the police to keep the peace in these neighborhoods. They don't like people breaking the rules of the place, don't be a troublemaker.

Final tips for your nightlife

Be careful not to enter places that are prohibited for foreigners. They are usually signposted, but we don't always find this signage in this light show. Some places in these nightlife districts require you to be fluent in Japanese to enter.
